Suples (fight)

When shooting, the attacker captures the torso (body and arm, arms in different combinations) of his opponent, who is facing or facing the attacker, sitting down, tears his body off the ground and bending backward, throws the opponent through himself, overwhelmingly slightly twisting in one direction . A deflection roll is also possible when the opponent is standing with his back to the attacker (or raised from the ground ); such a technique as a reverse belt is also carried out due to deflection.

The technique was most widely used in Greco-Roman wrestling and subsequently in freestyle wrestling , as effective in wrestling without clothes. In wrestling, clothes are used less often, although in general, nothing prevents it from being used. In sambo , which borrowed this throw in Greco-Roman wrestling, for such throws the name throws through a chest is accepted; in judo, the throw is called ura nage and is on the list approved by the Kodokan . In those types of wrestling where leg use is permitted, the throw may be carried out with the help of the legs in the form of a thigh suction. Throwing is often used in mixed martial arts. Supless got widespread in wrestling , as a very spectacular throw, and where it is known as suplex (it is alleged that the new term came from the spoken pronunciation of Gordon Soli, a famous commentator on wrestling and further incorrect repetition). Suplex in wrestling has a very large number of spectacular varieties, which are often hardly applicable in practical conditions.

The throw can be used as an independent technique and as a counter-technique (often from throws made by the opponent with a turn: throws through the thigh, back, etc.). Various counters are used against the supples, including a counter throw with a deflection, but the covering should be noted separately, when the attacked wrestler does not allow himself to be thrown and covers the opponent from above, who is at the time of the reception with his back to the carpet.

Successful use requires more muscle strength, especially the extensor muscles of the back and legs, coordination of one’s own movements with almost no ability to visually analyze actions, and finally, no fear of falling back. To overcome the fear of a throw in training, special techniques are used, including in particular the use of soft mats ^[1]

In Greco-Roman and free-style wrestling, a throw is divided into two categories according to the method of its execution: using a half-bridge (when the attacker rests his head or shoulder against the carpet during the execution of the throw) and without a half-bridge (when the attacker does not touch the carpet with his head or shoulder). It is also possible to separate throws with hovering (when the throw is divided into two phases: tearing the opponent off the carpet with the preparation of the throw and the throw itself) and without hovering, when the throw is a single unitary action. ^[2]

The main types of throw in Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling:

• a throw with a grip on the arm and body, in which the attacker grabs the opponent’s torso with one hand, and grabs the torso with the other hand, and hands pressed to it;
• throw with the capture of the body, in which the attacker with both hands grabs the body of the enemy;
• a throw with a grab on the arm and body, when the attacker grabs the opponent’s torso with one hand and grabs the opponent’s opposite arm in the shoulder area from above with the bend of the second hand;
• a throw with a grab on the arm and torso from the side when the attacker grabs the opponent’s torso with one hand and grabs the opponent’s arm of the same name in the shoulder area with the bend of the second hand
• a throw with a hand grip from above, in which the attacker grabs both hands of the opponent into a fold from above;
• a throw with a grab on the shoulder and neck from above, when with one hand the attacker grabs the opposite shoulder of the opponent, and the second neck of the opponent, passing the opponent’s head under the arm.

Suples is often used by wrestlers during competitions. So, the “cast of the century” that Wilfried Dietrich made 110 kilograms during the Olympic tournament in Greco-Roman wrestling in 1972 , throwing 200 kilogram Chris Taylor , was just supples. Boris Gurevich became the Olympic champion in 1952, covering a few seconds before the end of the final meeting of the supporter Ignazio Fabru . The casting specialist was considered Milian Hector , the 1992 Olympic champion ^[3]

The referee’s whistle - and the fight began on the motley carpet ... Under the cheerful animation of the wrestlers took curious poses, apparently supposed to depict the well-known methods of the French struggle. “Tour de tet”, “suples” , “tour de gansh” flickered on the carpet
